Valentine Kisses by Brenda Wampler

These are very similar to the project that I presented in December. Apply a rub-on to a microscope slide. Cover rub-on with another glass slide. Use continuous glue line around the edges, or a double stick tape. You can also just use a glue that will adhere to glass around the edges. Dip the edges into the shards. Pressing and working the shards into the glue or glue lines or tape, which ever you chose to use. If using glue, once you have applied the shards, set aside to dry. I used the Vintage Glass Glitter Shards Carnelian #906 for these. After dry, you can wrap wire and hang these, or use ribbons on each edge to hang or attach to a card. I love to just put several of these on a small white place and admire the shine and the transparency of the pieces. Now, go make something awesome!

Glittered Fairy Bookmark by Shelly Hein-Simmons

For book lovers or fairy lovers, these bookmarks are fun and easy to create and the design possibilities are endless!


Supplies:

Art Glitter: Ultrafine Opaque #79 Black
Thin cardboard to use as bookmark base (I used packaging from a shirt)
Patterned Paper (I have used Harlee-Quinnz Designs Butterfly Garden)
Fairy stamp (or other image of your choice – I used Harlee-Quinnz Designs Butterfly Garden Stamps)
Black Pigment Ink
Spray Adhesive
Bottle of Clear Drying Adhesive
Clear Acrylic Spray Sealant
The tassel can be any combination of fibers, ribbons, buttons, charms, etc.

Directions:

Cut a 7 ½” X 2 ¼” rectangle from cardboard, and 2 from the patterned paper. Round corners with a corner rounder punch. Glue patterned paper to both sides of cardboard rectangle, punch hole in center top.

Stamp your image in center of your bookmark using the black pigment ink. Cut an oval from scrap paper, just large enough to cover your stamped image. Lay this oval “mask” over the top of your stamped image and spray around edges of your oval mask with a spray adhesive, or use a brush to spread glue around edges. Remove mask, sprinkle on glitter and tap off excess.


After thoroughly dry, I sprayed a sealer over the whole bookmark.

For the tassel on my bookmark, I used a combination of Harlee-Quinnz Designs fibers, tiny bells, beads and shrinky-dink charms that I created by stamping fairy images on the shrinky-dink material before baking.

Optional: Add a fun or inspiration quote to your bookmark. I used the computer to print my quote onto cardstock, cut into strips and then attached to the bookmark.

Drawing With Glitter by Anam Stubbington

The same principle is used for all these projects – drawing with the adhesive is such a versatile way of adding your own flair to projects.


Supplies:
Art Glitter Designer Adhesive with Metal Tip
Art Glitter Ultrafine Glitter & Gala Glitz
Art Glitter Clear Transparencies
Metallic paper & white paper (the space for writing a message in on the reverse of the card)

Directions:
1. Create a card with your transparency. I make all my cards 4.25 x 5.5
2. Freehand draw your word or image on the front of the card.


3. Add your glitter, tap off excess and allow to dry. Note on the rock one I added different glitter to different parts of the image for a blended look.


(GlitterEmm's note: notice how Anam uses a creased piece of paper under her work -- this is a perfect method for catching the excess glitter and sliding it back into a pee wee vial.)





4. When dry, decorate as desired.
